Dear guests, welcome to Roko catering establishments in Opatija!
Our family's gastronomic tradition commenced in Dalmatia, on the island of Ugljan, where my father Roko Dunatov worked as the head chef. I followed in his footsteps, devoting myself to the catering trade with a great deal of love and enthusiasm.
As an 18-year-old, I received my first culinary training at the Intercontinental Corporation in Zagreb. After that I worked as the head chef in top-class restaurants in Opatija. I continued my professional path as a private business owner in the catering sector, first with the Mimoza bar, and later with Roko Pizzeria, Roko Restaurant and Veloce by Roko, in which I invested my considerable experience and knowledge, all the while honouring the local ambiance and gastronomic tradition of this town.
As the owner and a professional chef, I pay attention to every aspect of my restaurants: I create dishes based on my own ideas, I have developed our own recipes and menus, and I have also given a lot of thought to interior design, in order to provide a complete gastronomic and emotional experience for our guests. When it comes to food preparation, nothing is left to chance: I hand-pick the ingredients which we use; we obtain special seasoned wood for barbecue and grill; and both our pasta and our sweets are hand-made.
We owe our success to years of dedicated work, great effort, visionary ideas and constant investment. Discover our story, check out our offer, and join us in one of our restaurants.
Your chef and owner
Roko Stjepan Dunatov
A restaurant is its food, ambiance and people – both its staff and its guests. In our establishments, a special emphasis is placed on the synergy of all these elements which are crucial for quality and success.
We are not only concerned with how our guests feel in our establishments, but also with the conditions in which our cooks and waiters work. By constantly investing into our business, we strive to provide the best possible working conditions, as the care invested in the preparation of each dish can be felt in every bite.

Fast food which is unlike any other. At Veloce by Roko you will not find reheated ready-made food – all our meals are prepared as in a restaurant, only the speed is adapted to those guests whose pace of life prevents them from waiting long. We are well aware that everybody needs "a quick bite" every once in a while – but that does not mean one should eat the first thing they get their hands on. On the contrary! Fast food can be high-quality and delicious. Just ask the people from Opatija and their guests who always come back to Veloce by Roko for a quick but tasty bite.
Apart from the dishes that our guests are already well familiar with, Roko Restaurant also offers some new flavours and recipes: outstanding barbecue, meat and fish specialties, pastas and risottos. Here we were also guided by our philosophy of food preparation which is characterized by the respect for tradition and for the cooking profession. Thus, for example, your risotto will be prepared and served in copper bowls, while our grill is cooked on hand-picked wood which has undergone special seasoning processes. Seen that this building housed a catering establishment back in the early 20th century, we have designed the terrace area to look as it once did, and we strive to pay homage to this valuable tradition through our offer.
Small in size, but furnished with lots of taste and with the use of traditional materials, Roko Pizzeria quickly became famous for its wood-fired oven pizzas, homemade pastas and risottos, as well as its own hand-made sweets. We try to make sure that our establishments reflect their own interesting history; for example, the famous chemist Leo Sternbach spent his childhood in the building in which Roko I is located; in his honour, we named one of our pizzas Valium Pizza.
A place for lovers of great pasta and irresistible cakes. Pasta&Choco Roko is the youngest member of the Roko gastronomic family, and for the sake of the imaginative concept (you can watch the magic of making pasta and desserts by our Roko experts) has attracted the attention of our dear fellow citizens as well as tourists staying in Opatija. Lazagne, ravioli, gnocchi, cakes, with lots of love, no secret - take a look, take them home, come back for more :-) Pasta&Choco Roko is the sweetest thing that can happen to you today.
